Words have meanings. The black letter law relies on the meaning of words being non-fluid. This is what lawyers are for. The government cannot prosecute people based on what they WISH the law said. The law is the WORDS and their common meaning. If you don't understand the specific statements made in the law and their meanings, then please go get some legal advice rather than saying the law must be ambiguous because YOU don't understand it. "...recreational activities SUCH AS hunting..." very simply means "recreational activities of many unspecified kinds". The clear meaning is that whatever recreational activities were legal to enjoy with a 30 round magazine before M114 will be legal activities after M114 *IF* you possessed the 30 round magazine legally prior to M114.Let me spew my bs just a bit more then I will move on. Under 114 we have one or more antifa rioters carrying guns with magazines that fit as a demeanor, will they be arrested and prosecuted under a Portland DA?
A good citizen, middle class conservative accidently leaves a loaded magazine where it's seen by a cop who pulls him over for expired tags. Magazine is illegal under 114 so does the Portland DA prosecute him?
Good luck gents, I am done here and time for breakfast.
